Virginia City

A failed attempt to visit American Flat(s?) ended with a simple day of exploring Virginia City. Pretty fun stuff. I'll be making the trip out to American Flat(s) later this semester.

Just around the bend.

So I'd been here once before. A tattered area that feels like a mix of various landscapes. Discarded luggage, train tracks, massive tires, old warehouses. It took me an entire semester to actually get my camera out there. This is the first visit to the area. Enjoy.

Campus Rail Jam and Baseball Angle

First I'll show you a few photos I got at the Campus Rail Jam. Pretty neat event, if a bit pointless.




Now here's a new angle I'm playing with at baseball games. It's most definitely been done before... I think. But it's new to me.

Snow settles in March.

I could be pretty pissed off about what happened. (20 points to whoever tells me what that references) But I guess you can't really be angry when the thing you're trying to be mad at is white, fluffy and joy-filled. I was looking forward to warmth though.

Funny story about these photos. Some of the ones of the quad were taken from the balcony of Morrill Hall. Funny thing about that is I walked out onto the balcony (and I never forget this) and i forgot to prop the door open. So it closed and locked behind me. So I'm standing out, in the cold, stranded on a balcony, collecting snow. So I take pictures.

Snow as finals come to a close.

The first signs of snow showed on Sunday night. A light dusting that would in all probability be so much drain water by the next morning. So I let myself slip into sleep.

Early next morning I awoke only to realize the world was just a bit brighter out. Either I was getting up late or something was different. Turns out a fresh coat of snow was different. seeing as I'm a Vegas kid and I always will be, I grabbed my study gear (wish me luck) and my camera and went on my merry way. I wanted to capture Old Campus with an undisturbed coat of snow. I arrived alone with only two or three others around me hurrying into buildings. The snow made its soft sound. like rain, but softer. And I wondered how many others had seen and heard this event before. The university is old. And as I've said on other occasions, you can feel that history sometimes. I hope through these photos you will understand what I mean.
